[ OPEN + CLOSED PROMPTS ] I COULD LIFT YOU UP.

[sunderings]

Who: Solange "Sol" Aster (Sion Astal) & You!
When: 05/19 - 05/21
Where: The dormitories, city park, and a music room!
What: Weekend activities to include: using cupcakes to solicit community involvement, losing track of assignments in need of grading on a blustery day, and being overly affable in public.

❶ And there, atop the stainless steel of a countertop used many a time to house impromptu study-sessions and dinner parties, lies...!
❷ The decision is yours, good samaritan: will you aid him?

For all the world, his present captive companion looks as though he's been 'caught in the act', and while such a deer-in-headlights look is altogether endearing, Solange also cannot help but be a touch apologetic as he explains the programming: ] It will be staged as a dinner held here, in the common area next week.

Next week...

[Yeah, he'll probably be alive and not dead by next week. Probably. Tucking his chin against his chest, Ciro thinks on it. If nothing else, maybe he can offer to tell his brother about it- would that be enough to get him off the hook and allow a cupcake? Or is that too manipulative of people offering free food for a good cause- ]

[Preoccupied and overworked, it takes him a second to parse the question, and he blinks.]

I'm... not sure if met, but I've lived here for a while... You might know my brother? [Wait- oh. right. obviously.] I'm also part of the gardening club, so...
